Murray's backhand is as good as Safin/Agassi, Novak is slightly behind but he makes up for it in just being a better mover and having a steadier forehand than either of them; Agassi had a tendency to overplay his forehand when he was facing an opponent who could keep up with him on the ground, and Safin's forehand was wildly erratic even on a good day.

Safin's forehand was erratic after 2005 when he had surgery and had to change his technique a bit. In some days it was atrocious. But in his peak it was almost as good as his backhand. Nalbandian's is a bit behind. Not much power as Safin but he could create some ridiculous angles.
